victor herbert - she was a country girl lyrics

when miss evaline cook at the city took a look
there on her a very pleasant lady smiled;
and she said to her, “my dear, will you hold this infant here
till i go and buy a biscuit for this child?”
but eva answered “nix!
though such amateurish tricks
often catch the country bumpkin and beguile ’em
your child i will not mind
so run along and find
somebody else to act as an asylum!”

oh, she was a country girl
her switch was so full of hay
but when she had to cross the street
she always knew the way!
oh, she was a country girl
but well did she know her book;
if in search of a jay
you had best stay away
from sweet evaline mccook!

when miss evaline cook at the city took a look
a pocketbook upon the street she spied;
the people passed it by for ’twas april fool, that’s why
to take that pocketbook n0body tried
“ah, an ancient trick like that,”
they remarked, “is quite too flat;
that purse is filled with nothing else but hay.”
then up from the cold cold ground
eva plucked the purse and found
the sum of twenty thousand dollars in it
